Athena
I have talked to a gallery owner who loves my work, but we both agree, that until I find a clientele which is all about stopping painting and starting to network (I just do NOT have the wardrobe for networking, which I need money for, so you see the vicious circle?), I should try to be more figurative. We have had many debates around the forums as to what figurative is and if you want my humble opinion, it is eyes looking off. All that does to a pose is take it internal, rather than presentational.
Ok that tirade over, I got into the studio early to set a dramatic light, threw in flowers and let the model plunk herself wherever she wanted. Luckily she looked up and to the left.
This is 24" x 18" oil.
